Frequently asked questions
For how long do I need to continue applying Maxizol Cream? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. For tinea infections, treatment is typically continued for 1 month. For candida infections, at least 15 days of treatment are generally recommended. It's crucial to not discontinue treatment on your own even if symptoms have subsided as complete eradication of the fungus may still be necessary to prevent recurrence.
What precautions are necessary while applying Maxizol Cream?
Always thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying Maxizol Cream. If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying Maxizol Cream. Apply it to form a thin and uniform layer onto the affected areas daily and gently rub it in.
Is Maxizol Cream safe to use in children?
Maxizol Cream is considered safe for use in children when used at recommended doses for the prescribed period. Minor side effects may occur but are generally not bothersome. If you experience burning sensations or areas of severe redness, itching, stop using the medication and consult your doctor immediately.
What measures should be taken for a fast recovery?
Keep affected skin areas clean and dry and avoid excessive rubbing. Itching can make you want to scratch; however, this could damage the skin surface, spreading the infection. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with others as this could spread the infection to them.
Does Maxizol Cream have any side effects?
